New Imperative - Design for Quality New INTEC Courses Focus on Quality

Quality - what it is and how to design it into any product or process. That's the focus of a broad new program of courses that will be offered by INTEC (In-Hours Technical Education Courses), beginning this fall. So far, the program consists of two new curricula: De• sign for Manufacturability and Project Engineering. The objective of the Design for Manufactura• bility curricula is to help Sandia and DOE produc• tion agencies and other customers and suppliers work together to design and fabricate high-quality products that are not only reliable, but also easier to manufacture and more cost-effective. The Project Engineering curriculum focuses on how to manage and monitor the design and production processes in a way that builds in quality throughout. "Quality is not something added to a product, or something achieved through inspections at the end of the production line," says VP of Component De• velopment Glen Cheney (2000), chairman of the Sandia Education Committee. "Quality is conform• ing to customers' requirements." SOME OF THE GRADUATES who participated in the pilot run of "Design for Manufacturability," a new Working Together at the Outset course to be offered by INTEC this fall.
